I have tryed to find the answer to this by using the seach function, but could'nt find out how to change the inner oil seal on the passenger side of my 1990 Dana 30 disconnect axle.
I have a very active leak from the end of the axle tube, and a intermittent howl/sqeek from the front right wheel, so I figure the hub assembly is bad and will replace it as it needs to come off anyway(239,000 miles).
I have never taken my axle apart before but sounds like a very good learning experience, I have read that the axle nut and the three bolts holding the hub on are difficult to get off, expecially after 15 years and 239,000 miles.
I just dont want to get through all of this and find out I still have an oil leak, so, after much reading and allot of learning allready(some very good links out there), I have been prepared to take the axle apart, but, I still dont know how to change the inner seal.
Anybody know anything about changing this seal, need a special tool, will the diff have to come apart, should I just over and build a new axle?????
Thanks in advance for any and all input!
